Hello everyone! 
Behind the scenes, we are continuously working to make Vaperina content available to as many people as possible, and now we have taken a big step towards this: automatic AI translation has launched!

Current Status
Initially, the AI only translates to English and Hungarian, and for now, it is processing posts from the last ~60 days.
This is because the full translation of nearly 400,000 posts, even using the cheapest LLM (large language model) currently available that correctly recognizes the language and provides higher quality translation, would represent a huge cost for us.
So far, more than 10,000 posts have received AI translation, and this number is constantly growing! 
This also includes the immediate translation of new posts.
\u003e
In the future, if our budget allows, we will extend the translation to older posts and gradually to more languages.
What else happened?
Automatic Location
To ensure everyone can encounter Vaperina in their own language, the site now automatically detects the visitor’s location and adjusts the interface accordingly.
The content language will change if a translation is available in that language.
Simple Language Selector
A language selection option is now available in the header.
Only languages for which a translation is actually available (e.g., posts, topics, etc.) will appear here.
This allows you to easily switch to your desired language.
Manual Translation
The manual translator is accessible via the globe icon
found next to individual posts.
This allows you to immediately request a translation for a specific post if it is missing.
You can see which languages it has been translated into, edit the translation if you find an error, or even add a new one.
This is currently available to everyone, but in the future, we may link it to certain trust levels.
Toggling Translation On and Off
The content translation can be turned off or on using the button on the timeline.

Selecting Content Language
When writing a post, you can now specify the original language of the content.
This helps the AI know more accurately which language it needs to translate from.
Viewing Original Language
If a post has already been translated, you can now easily see which language the translation originated from.
Country Selector
Many of you have already set it, but soon we will make specifying the country in your profile mandatory for everyone.
This helps in filtering topics by country, and it will also appear on posts, making the site more transparent. 
If you haven’t done so yet, you can set it here.
Known Bugs and Shortcomings
As with any new system, there are still bugs here that we are continuously fixing:
Displaying previews for images, videos, and links 
- Translation of tags
- Translation of the latest comment on the topic list page
SEO support for translated content
